20 Ways to Ask [Archive]

For Impact Ideas | | Nick Fellers

It’s been a busy first quarter. I’ve been in 20 states coaching and training around the For Impact point of view, major gifts and organizational strategy. Looking at the activity of our coaches we can add another 13 states to that count.

This level of activity provides for constant and heavy feedback — I’m reminded at the power and value in helping people know HOW TO ASK.

Today I’m posting an audio that was first shared two years ago: 20 Ways to Ask.
